Lyrics

Bird of Prey

There's a bell in a tower that will no longer chime
A bird of Prey on a fence that refuses to fly
Oh Lord, she was bound to betray me

A white flag above the battle that is covered in blood
A black hood is being pulled over the face of love
Oh Lord, she was bound to betray me
Betray me

I am alone. on the road again
I am alone, dust devils rise
I am alone, shedding skin again
I ride to parts unknown

There's a still in the house when I turn out the lights
Not even prayers cut through the darkness weighing on my mind
Oh Lord, she was bound to betray me
I can't sail to the north in this idiot wind
And I can't survive on a diet of sin
Oh Lord, she was bound to betray me
Betray me

I am alone, on the road again
I am alone, dust devils rise
I am alone, shedding skin again

I ride to parts unknown
She won't let me go
Miles and miles away
Chasing the last rays of sunlight

I am alone, on the road again
I am alone, dust devils rise
I am alone, shedding skin again
I ride to parts unknown...

There are no angels hovering overhead tonight
There'll be no funeral procession on the day love dies
Oh Lord, she was bound to betray me
